"My name is Destiny." The blonde nodded putting her full attention onto the now identified Shirogane. "Where are we currently located, Shirogane?" It was clear Destiny was not in her own world as Shirogane had no clue what she was when any person form her world could tell what she was from a single glace. That and there was music playing through the stores speakers which should be calling a horde of D2s here.

Well. This woman was just full of surprises, wasn’t she... Naoto did commend the foresight to change her appearance into something less out of place, less explaining she’d need to do. She wasn’t ready to put her hat in the ring of attempting to explain strange otherworldly people just yet.

Once the woman went through, Naoto looked around the area one final time before stepping through the stack. As usual, the aisle was devoid of any customers, which was only a good thing. She took out her phone, finger hovering over the buttons that would help her navigate her contacts list. Text them? Wait a little?

“I need to text my friends about the... situation. But err... I suppose if you’re curious, we can walk around the area, Miss.” Right. “You can call me Shirogane, what’s your name?”

In hindsight, Naoto should have asked that first.

"Understood." She never really bothered to push the other for more information on her abilities, if it was necessary to tell her about them then she would have done so already. Instead, she put her focus on the TV that was pointed out to her and she looked at it for a moment before tilting her head.

Destiny assumed her Musicart form would be out of place wherever this TV would lead given the way this girl had been looking at her earlier so in a flash of red, accompanied by what sounded like a flourish of piano keys, she was back to her Cosette attire.

"I just need to climb through." She reminded herself before doing just that finding herself in what looked like a shopping centre. She looked around for a few moments before stepping away from the TV set to allow the other girl room to exit and waited.

“Naturally.”

If she could help it, Naoto didn’t want to elaborate further on Personas. It was best saved for someone who had to talk about it more than once, and that person was Narukami. If not him, then Hanamura. He was sociable, friendly enough. Even if he spoke like he surgically replaced his brain with a pile of bricks, he was the second-in-command for a reason.

“I... see.” That was a problem. “Well...”

What was she supposed to say? This went far beyond a simple case of having no place to stay. “We’ll figure out something. But, look, we’re here.” Naoto pointed at the TV stack in the middle of the ‘lobby’ as the team called it. “Just walk through and it’ll take you out of here. I’ll be right behind you.”

"This means you must have a special power, correct?" It would seem that they were quite knowledgeable about how things here worked and if they weren't tossed in here like these apparent victims had been before then it was only likely to assume that they had a form of power.

If the person who had been doing such a thing to these people had been caught then that was a relief. She could not really fathom why anyone would want to do something like that to another but humans were rather unpredictable. Much like the head of the symphonica... and Takt... hm... the thought of Takt and Ana made her feel empty inside... it would be hard adjusting to life without them.

When the other mentioned her friends and how they must be missing her she turned her gaze to the ground for a moment. Did they? She would like to hope they would... she certainly missed them. "That is not necessary. I have no home..." She supposed this was her new home even though she should be dead. "I can not go back."

“Yes, this place was... his home, originally.” Since he was rooming it up with Hanamura, she wondered if he’d stay on this side permanently, with only occasional trips to this side. Their side was less lonely, for one thing. Still, this girl seemed to take everything being said in stride. Perhaps because she was... yes.

“No, in fact, to even enter this world, you need a special power.” Naoto didn’t sense there was any Persona on the other, but it wasn’t like she was granted the ability to do so. If she had one, she would have used it, was her logic. “So, they were thrown in here against their will.” In her case, she invited the opportunity, but it wasn’t something she was going to share.

“The person throwing others in here is caught, so we don’t need to worry about someone falling in anymore. ...Well, I suppose our next order of business is to try and help you find your way home. I’m sure your friends miss you.”

Welp, that was pretty much the only joke she had.

[sweetxsymphony]

"Also correct." She nodded before turning her own gaze back tot he performers. She imaged that Takt would have loved to be here and get a chance to play that piano but he wasn't here with her anymore, she wasn't going to be able to see him again but she bet he would still be itching to lay his hands on every piano he saw.

"My name is Destiny."

"It's all up to what you want to do with that freedom of expression. To seek joy in darkest of times, to bring excitement to those deeply need it and even help release the tears of those who hold their pain back. After all life is too short to be thinking about all those things...." Zek said while he crossed his arms looking up at the band....

[sweetxsymphony]

"That is all correct." She nodded softly rather impressed with the others understanding of music. Most people didn't tend to think much into it unless they were passionate about it so to come across someone who knew their stuff was a pleasant surprise. "Music is a powerful thing, indeed." She would know given she was a portion of that power personified.

"Mm... it can be a beautiful thing to listen to. Music is a form of ones expression. Whether if to convey love, sorrow, joy, excitement, melancholy or more. It is all up to you and others on how you seek to convey those emotions." Zek would say with a smile underneath his mask glancing at the other.

"I can see how music would be important to you if it is indeed used for such purposes." That was how things should be, what music should be used for, and she just hoped that her old home was able to finally get to a point where music could be enjoyed once again.

"Ah.. always someone playing a Balalaika, a few flutes, drums, and a flutes and horns and it is a celebration whether it be for a good harvest, a marriage, a celebration of life, or more....." Zek said looking at the band then glancing at them.

She remained silent for a moment as she listened for a moment longer before turning her head slightly in the others direction. "I see. If this is what your villages music was like then it must have been quite entertaining to listen to."

"Mm its important to me as well because of how it reminds me of my villages music. Folk music to be more precise." Zek would say looking at the other while adjusting his facemask a bit until he crossed his arms gently.

For a moment, as she listens to the piano being played, she's reminded of Takt and his love for the instrument, how he always had the urge, the need, to be playing some form of melody and she can't help but feel her mood falter slightly.

Still, this is not the time to be glum and down and she pushes it all down before nodding softly. "Whoever that is on the piano is quite talented."

"I do not get to listen to music often but it is very important to me so you are correct." Considering she was literally born from music itself she would naturally take a great interest in any form of music. So far it was quite enjoyable.

Zek would also walk up to listen to the music as well watching the band play while he would look at the other. "Hmm? Interested in the music arent you?" Zek would ask looking at the other with a glance in his eyes.

She's going to just stay near the source for the events music and just enjoy it for now, it was rare that she got to listen to music without it being interrupted by a sudden attack from a D2.

[sweetxsymphony]

"No, I do not know either of the hosts. A friend got me an invitation." She was quite curious about the hosts of the event, honestly, all she'd ever known were humans, D2s and Musicarts but the person who had greeted her was none of those species. "I heard there would be music and had to find a way to attend." She added.

'Pleasure to meet you, Destiny. I'm Kimiko.' As they're both by the punch bowl, Kimiko holds out a ladle and gently pours some more in. 'How did you find out about the event? Any of the hosts friends of yours?'

[sweetxsymphony]

"My name is Destiny." It had been interesting being on her own recently but it did allow her to meet plenty of new faces, like the one before her. "I would like some more punch, yes, thank you."

'Hi there, what's your name?' Kimiko is trying to meet new people after all, and this woman seems like she could use a friendly face. 'Can I top off your punch or get you something to drink?'

[sweetxsymphony]

"There are a few species here that are a new to me... They do not seem to harbour ill intent however."

For anyone peeking their head in over here due to the event this is actually a sideblog to @needlenxggin so if you don't get a return follow this is why

#ooc ; out of sweets #( she may get a main blog one day idk )

[sweetxsymphony]

"I am aware my attire is not matching the overall theme but I have instant access to this attire and felt no need to seek out a new one."

#ic ; let the performance begin #eaths starlight ball #( I did forget all about finding one for vash dfhgd #so uh he's just in his old suit lmao #they rocking their signature styles I guess? sdjfh )

[sweetxsymphony]

Whilst she didn't really know either of the hosts for this event it was an event where music was going to be present and being a Musicart she felt a great need to be in attendance. Music wasn't something that could have been enjoyed back where she was originally from due to the D2s but know it was a lot more common for her to here which was nice.

Her outfit wasn't entirely on theme colour wise but there wasn't much she could about it, that was her natural state in the world but it fit the aesthetic for a ball.

In a flash of red and rose petals she was now in her Musicart form and in her ball attire, having a form with an elegant outfit made selecting attire for this event much simpler. She only needed to sort out a mask which she kept to her own theme rather than that of the events.

"My name is Destiny; Thank you for having me." /@oflostinfound
